Post by: BreakFree on Feb 8, 2015
Discharge orders for a client who suffered a myocardial infarction 5 days ago state, “Continue home medications.” The client’s medications include flecainide (Tambocor). How should the nurse proceed?
1. Include instructions for the client to rise slowly to an upright position.
2. Instruct the client to limit alcohol intake to very moderate amounts.
3. Contact the health care provider to verify whether the client is to restart the flecainide.
4. Instruct the client to carry a medic alert card at all times with instructions for flecainide.
